WASHINGTON, D.C. - December 9, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- U.S. Congressmen James Langevin (RI-02) and David Cicilline (RI-01), are taking a lead role in trying to preserve heating assistance for struggling families this winter. Rhode Island’s two representatives were original co-sponsors of legislation, just introduced with Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (ME-01), that would allocate $4.7 billion for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in Fiscal year 2012, ensuring resources equal to the previous year’s levels. The bill matches the measure sponsored by Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse.
